Summary: The Grand Father of all Manic-Depressive literature.
Comment: This book is everything you need to know about manic-depressive illness that your doctor doesn't have time to tell you. Dr. Kay Redfield Jamison has a passion for the subject and the knowledge to back it up.
As and individual afflicted with manic-depressive illness, I have read almost every book Jamison and others have published on Manic-Depressive Illness and can honestly say that if it has her name as author, it is an excellent resource on manic-depressive illness. She is thorough and concise yet easy to understand.
This book has it all. Everything you want to know, technically, about manic-depressive illness is in this book. For a personal account, "An Unquiet Mind" is a must, also written by Dr. Kay Jamison Redfield. She is an expert on the topic personally and professionally. What a wonderfully sensative combination.
Thanks again Kay!

Summary: The ultimate in the description of manic-depressive illness
Comment: Having been diagnosed with Bipolar II four years ago, I searched and researched the Internet and bookstores for anything I could find on Manic-Depressive illness. It was by pure chance that I stumbled on this book.
Some years ago, I was a nursing student and psychiatric nursing seemed to be my speciality, since I had some innate ability to understand the mind. And, ever the nursing student, I continued long after nursing school to learning more about psychiatric illness, especially once I was diagnosed with it.
The book is technical in content, but easy for the layperson to understand, providing they have a good dictionary. Being a nursing student, much of the language comes easy for me, but the layperson can grasp a good understanding of the illness. Their references to Kraepelin were especially important since he was the first to recognized the two poles of the illness.
I would recommend this book to any person diagnosed with Bipolar and their families, to help understand their illness and to know they are not alone.

Summary: The Manic-Depressive Bible, Maybe
Comment: This is a clinical, scholarly, encyclopedic review of all aspects of manic depressive disorder (MD). It is coauthored by famed author, MD sufferer, and psychiatrist Kay Redfied Jamison, more widely known for her "An Unquiet Mind" and "Touched with Fire: Manic-Depressive Illness and the Artistic Sentiment".
As a MD sufferer I found information of great intrest to me: genetics of MD, recidivism rates, age of onset, and other information not readily found elsewhere. Not every person with MD will want to research the clinical aspects of their own illness, but if you do this is one of the few places to find indepth information on MD.
